Over the course of four days our USA Men’s Freestyle Team competed at the World Championships in Budapest. From top to bottom, this is perhaps the most talented lineup we’ve ever had and the smallest guy in that lineup is the biggest guy in our Hawkeye hearts, Thomas Gilman.
Gilman has been training in Iowa City with the Hawkeye Wrestling Club and took silver in the 2017 World Championship and naturally came in with a gold medal in his sights this year.
Unfortunately, all of his hard work did not materialize the way he wanted as he went 2-2 and he finished in fifth place.
